Prydaz is only bad if you aren't a tank. The ring sucks though. But let's face it, these are welfare legendaries no matter how you break it down and are more or less meaningless compared to other gear.
Ironically that fucking neck has the perfect stats for Resto Shaman.

My point is worthless crap like that shouldn't exist. Legendaries shouldn't be invalidated by epics with better stats. The whole point of a legendary is that it is supposed to be a major upgrade not a downgrade. In Diablo 3 fair enough there are shit ones my point is there shouldn't be in WoW because people aren't making them mandatory for content anyway.
Maybe if the NPC would need a legendary, like you got X legenday and want Y, you go to npc and he takes X but gives you Y... But that is not blizz intention, cause they wanted you to change your build a little around the legendary that you get
"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."
— Patrick Rothfuss (The Kingkiller Chronicle)
if you could "trade" in legendarys like that it would be pretty stupid because everyone would be running around with the same legendarys. sorta like how the artifact weapons are
Why should I (or anyone) be happy to get a legendary that is near worthless outside of the stats? I got the crap Sephuz, I'd just assume got nothing and have my misery protection keep stacking then to get a junk item and have it reset.
How "legendary" does it feel to get a Legendary that does nothing for you? I could get a lucky titanforge proc on a ring and it would have equal or more value if the stats are perfect.

Indeed and the RNGfest is shitty enough.

But that cannot happen. A legendary should feel like an upgrade not a downgrade. That can happen. And the reason I'm pissed is because that shitty ring was my first one and I had 2 Mastery-Crit rings that were 875 and 860 at the time.
This ring feels more legendary and beats Sephux Secret by a landslide, for pretty much all classes.

Even DLC knows what is up with that shitty ring
I wouldn't mind a legendary trader NPC that takes a legendary away from you, gives you a currency to buy a new one and lets you buy it. So you could trade away a bad legendary for a good one. Maybe add in like a cost of gold/resources or Bloods/Obliterium. That way the fun rng of legendary drops is still there, but not the instant crushing defeat of a Prydaz or Sephuz. Make it so getting the right legendary is still what you want, but not so getting the wrong one makes you want to quit.
No, there is about a 50% chance that the one you get is never worth equipping and you're less liklely to get your next one after that so there is a very good chance that you get your character pretty much ruined after your first.
In many cases you're better off deleting your legendaries, just hoping that the "bad luck" system sees it as you not having a legendary. It's that bad.
Cheerful lack of self-preservation
That doesn't even make sense. Don't be an idiot. The bad-luck system checks for DROPS, not the existence of the item afterwards. It's literally the same functionality as Diablo III; the game knows as soon as you loot the item that you got one, whatever you do with it afterwards be damned. Second, REALLY don't be an idiot and delete a legendary. Delete that worthless ring? WOOPS! Your second legendary is a repeat because now you're eligible to loot it again.
Cheerful lack of self-preservation
Theres no system in place to save you from getting two of the same legendary.
There is also no point in keeping quite a few of these legendaries. To make things worse, you can't even disenchant them. You know, as an extra slap in the face: Here have a worhtless item that you can't even get a shard from.
It's a fucking horrible system and it should never have been in the game.
I've stopped doing shit on alts because my main hasn't gotten shit despite "playing the game" and my alt randomly gets the neck from a cache. I'm pretty sure if any character other than my main gets one again I'm just gonna quit.
Edit:And less than 2 hours after I posted this I got the shitty ring on them. Still might quit anyway.
